Blue Jays 3B Glaus out rest of season

? Blue Jays third baseman Troy Glaus will undergo season-ending surgery next week to repair a nerve in his left foot, the latest blow in an injury-filled season that has also included accusations he received performance-enhancing drugs.

“The surgery is a nerve decompression surgery,” general manager J.P. Ricciardi said. “He’s going to have a consultation later this week, just to kind of get ready for it, then he’s going to have the surgery Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.”

The surgery will be performed in Los Angeles by Dr. Phillip Kwong. Glaus will need to rest about a month afterward, but is expected to be healthy in time for spring training.

It has been a difficult month for Glaus, whose name surfaced in a report last week accusing him of receiving performance-enhancing drugs from a Florida pharmacy under investigation for illegally distributing prescription medications. Glaus has declined to comment on the report.
